"Spin 'em to the hubs Captain, spin 'em to the hubs."

Credited to meself one Saturday night about 30 years ago at bar closing time just before an old friend nicknamed 'Captain' brake-torqued the tires on his '69 Cadillac into the bar parking lot asphalt until they both blew out and sparks flew.

No roll bar, windshield down....what could go wrong ? I just remember seeing him crawling on the lake and nothing after. Later, we were sitting there staring at a belly up Jeep in the middle of a dry lake thinking how are we EVER going to explain THIS ?
